US Immigration from Pakistan

Hi All,

I got US citizenship on 7th Jan 2022 and my wife delivered the baby on 8th Jan 2022. My wife's case is still at NVC with (DQ) and waiting to send to the consulate for an interview.

I have already sent an email to ASK NVC to upgrade my wife's petition from F2A to IR1.

Now my question is how do I bring my child with my wife?

I did some research and found that CRBA is one of the options but seems like I am not eligible because my total physical presence in the USA is 4 Years 7 months, which is short of 5 years to accomplish transmitting requirements but my continuous residence is almost 5.5 years.

If CRBA is not an option then do I need to apply for i130 for my child? If yes then what documents that I need to provide with the petition and also does its need to go to the same procedure as NVC (i864, DS260, DQ, Interview wait) after USCIS approval?

If yes then how do I update USCIS that her mother's case is only pending for an Interview and no one in my local country can take care of my child so I want to bring my child with my wife?

Please don't give me this option that my wife will wait for an interview there till my child's case got completed because it is going to be painful for my life. I don't want to wait 3 more years to be lived this stressful and depressing situation. Already resigned 2 times from the job in two and a half years the period after filing for my spouse because it is super painful to live apart without my wife and I am also very much in stress about the financial stuff.

I Went to the doctor multiple times with some stress and high blood pressure issues and they did many blood tests, x-rays, ultrasounds ct scans, endoscopy and finally, the doctor realized its because of stress and depression and told me to go to your local country and live with your wife. The doctor also helped me to file FMLA to not lose the job but unfortunately, after 3 months FMLA expired and my condition had not in a position at that time to leave the wife and come back to the USA so the doctor advised me to not leave till your health went better but for living expenses, I moved back to the USA but now I again not feeling better and already schedule my flight to see my daughter.

Now, I don't want to get again all this pain for my child's case?

Please help me with your suggestions and the best options that I need to take here.

Thank You,

Hello everyone,

My name is irfan. My wife and i belongs to ahmadiyya muslim community. I live in pakistan and my wife is a US citizen. We applied for immigrant visa and our case is in NVC documents review stage. We submitted all required docum Including affidavit financial, civil, personal info, marriage certificate etc. NVC is keep rejecting our marriage certificate by sending us a notice to upload a nikah nama and certified english with it. But we don't get any other documents regard our marriage except the one we get from our religious authority. US state also mentioned this in there website that minority groups can submit their religious based marriage documents only. But it's the third time we resubmitted our same marriage certificate after rejection becuz we don't have any other. Does anyone know about the matter how to get through this?

my dad is US citizen and he wants to sponsor his divorced daughter and her child under 21. my question is how can he apply for both of them and how much it takes time and what is fee for it? thanks
